Nicholas

If you are thinking of attending this school you should be open-minded and like the outdoors. This school creates a lot of opportunites for people who like to do things outdoors, and almost everyone who I have met here likes to do something outside. If you don't then you will have a much harder time enjoying life here. You should also have an open mind because there are a lot of people here who lead somewhat different lifestyles. While it is not like Portland or somewhere like that it is definately the most different town in Montana.

Desiree

I think almost any type of person could fit in here. The campus is predominantly liberal but there are a fair number of students with conservative views. There are the party-goers, those who do nothing but study and pretty much everything in between. There's research in every department, a great variety of sports and clubs, honors and community service associations, and great musical opportunities. I have friends here from almost every stereotypical social group and the great thing is even here in Montana with it's limited diversity everyone can find a solid group of friends.

They should be willing to approach new people with open arms and prepared to experience Montana hospitality at its fullest. Missoula is a place all its own, located deep in the most beautiful place on earth. Anyone would be lucky to call this place home.

A belief of mine is that students look for a form of community first in school. Missoula has a closed community, so does the university; everyone knows everyone else. A person that is most comfortable in that setting would enjoy UM. The character of an ideal UM student would be someone that doesn't have much interest in constant change. The town is mellow.

This school is a good choice for non-traditional students, i.e. students who are returning from a hiatus from school, students who may consider taking time off, and part-time students. The majority of students here are traditional full-time students, but the University makes it easy to pick up where you leave off if you take a break from school or don't take a full course load.
